Gilbert, the dashing and cynical French Dragoon is seeking purpose in a greater cause. They are joined by China's moody and unpredictable Grand Canal princess, Jiayi Mei Ying, and Sheyndil, a young farm girl on mission for Catherine the Great of Russia. Leo, a wayward Baron-to-be, and Prince Mahmoud of the Ottoman empire round out the motley crew.Together, this lively band finds purpose in harsh lessons learned in the unprecedented global events surrounding the American Revolutionary War. They find resolve in one another, and the 'Colonials' will need all their resources to face the gathering threat from a nest of monarchists.
